Well, 'Memento' by Christopher Nolan (which was also made into a movie) can be considered in the realm of blackout fiction. The main character has a condition that makes him unable to form new memories, so his life is full of these mental 'blackouts'. Also, 'Gone Girl' has elements of blackout in terms of the characters' false memories and the way the story unfolds with different versions of events that are like blackouts of the truth.
One popular blackout fiction book is 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. It presents a post - apocalyptic world where the environment has been severely damaged. Another is 'Station Eleven' which shows how a flu pandemic has changed society. And '1984' by George Orwell can also be considered in a sense as it depicts a world where information is highly controlled and there are blackouts of truth.
I would recommend 'The Road'. This post - apocalyptic novel has a lot of elements of a blackout world. The sun is blocked, the environment is desolate, and there is a lack of normalcy. People are just trying to survive in this world that has essentially 'blacked out' in terms of its former civilization.
Well, there's 'Robinson Crusoe'. Crusoe discovers how to survive on a deserted island and in the process discovers a lot about himself. 'Moby - Dick' can also be seen as discovery fiction. Captain Ahab is on a quest to discover and kill the great white whale, Moby - Dick, and in that journey, Ishmael, the narrator, discovers the harshness and wonder of life at sea. 'Lord of the Flies' is another example, as the boys discover the darker side of human nature while stranded on an island.
One example is 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger. The main character Holden Caulfield is a bit of an outsider, feeling alienated from the adult world around him.
One example is 'The Big Short' by Michael Lewis. It's a great piece of finance fiction that tells the story of the 2008 financial crisis from the perspective of those who saw it coming and bet against the housing market. Another is 'Liar's Poker' also by Michael Lewis, which gives an insider's view of Wall Street in the 1980s.
One example could be using children's fiction books. For instance, if you have a bunch of fairytale books that are falling apart. You could take pages with beautiful illustrations of princesses, castles, and magical creatures. Cut them into shapes and quilt them together to make a story - quilt for a child's bedroom. It would be a unique way to preserve the charm of those stories in a new form.
Sure. 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' by Sophie Kinsella is a well - known chick fiction book. It's about a woman who has a shopping addiction and the humorous and sometimes chaotic situations she gets into because of it. Then there's 'Eat, Pray, Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert, which follows the author's journey of self - discovery after a difficult divorce, exploring different cultures and relationships along the way. 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' is also a great example, focusing on the strong bond between four friends and their individual experiences while sharing a pair of magical pants.
Sure. 'Lord of the Flies' can be considered as a form of emergency fiction. The boys are stranded on an island, which is an emergency situation for them. They have to figure out how to survive, create order, and deal with the emerging chaos among themselves. Also, 'The Stand' by Stephen King, dealing with a super - flu epidemic that wipes out most of the population, is a great example of this genre.
Sure. 'Watership Down' is a good example. It's a fictional tale about a group of rabbits on a journey. However, it also exposes readers to the social structure and behavior of rabbits in a way that is both educational and interesting. Also, 'Sophie's World' is a work of expository fiction. It tells a fictional story of a girl receiving philosophy lessons, and in the process, it educates the reader about various philosophical ideas throughout history.
Sure. 'The Time Machine' by H.G. Wells is a great example. The moment when the Time Traveller activates his machine and is catapulted into different time periods is a classic catapult fiction moment. Also, in 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut, Billy Pilgrim's sudden time - jumps are like catapult events that disrupt the linear narrative and take the reader on a wild ride through different parts of his life and different time frames.
